Five stars aren't enough! This was our first visit to McEwen's on Monroe, and by the end of the night we were joking that we might need to move here just so we could eat here every week. The atmosphere was fantastic, making it the perfect spot for a pre-concert dinner. Hailey took wonderful care of us. She knew we were on a schedule and somehow managed to keep everything moving smoothly without ever making us feel rushed. The daily special was phenomenal and easily one of the best meals I've had in quite some time. Great food, amazing ambiance, excellent service, and a stress-free start to our evening. A truly delightful experience that exceeded every expectation.

There were eight of us, and everyone ordered something different. We had a couple of appetizers (the bang shrimp were excellent.). Stand outs were the Ahi Tuna salad and the salmon with risotto. The biggest surprise were the French fries - the best I have had outside of a little place off of 68th street in NY. The service was slow, and our food came out at different times. The waiter was trying to cover the entire restaurant and it was an impossible task - they weren’t that busy, but the service suffered fr the hostess seating people all over the restaurant. For the money, you just can’t beat this place.
